This record is a re-issue of the 1970 album "Attila", only the song "Holy Moses" is missing on this release.
The song "Amplifier Fire" consists of two parts named "Part I - Godzilla" and "Part II - March Of The Huns" on the original release. However on this release part 1 is titled wrongly with the overall title "Amplifier Fire" and part 2 is named wrongly "Godzilla Part 1".
Billy Joel is listed as sole artist here, most likely to take advantage of his fame.
